baby it's cold outside {giveaway}

One of the things I love about living in Le Petit Village is that we get all four seasons to their fullest; printemps is always bright and chirpy, l'été is gloriously hot, automne is perfectly crisp and hiver, well hiver is freaking freezing. But with all of that freezing cold usually comes snow, and for me, you can't have a winter wonderland without snow.

The only downside has been that for the past few years I have been without proper snow boots. Since I'm more of an indoorsy girl than an outdoorsy one, I didn't feel like doling out the bucks for some boots that I would wear only a few times a year. But then the snow would tumble down and I would want to go out and play in it with Fifty (Monsieur Fifty capital L loves the snow) and I would end up with my toes freezing inside my Hunters... not fun. So imagine my excitement when Blacks, an outdoor and travel clothing company, offered to send me a pair of winter boots (we're talking cartwheel level ofexcitement).

How cute are these things?! They're comfy to boot, like bouncing on pillows kind of comfy, and most importantly, they're nice and warm. Now if I could just get it to snow again (please, please, please snow before Christmas), I'll be all set.

Not only has Blacks made sure that I am now properly equipped for winter wonderland frolicking, but they're going to help one of you guys be too! One lucky reader is going to win a pair of North Face Women's Etip Gloves so you can keep your digits warm and tweet and instagram at the same time. Bonus... it's just in time for the holidays!

FREE BOOTS?!?! Lucky you! Those are gorgeous! I have slowly been phasing out all of my sandals and shoes with anything over a 1-inch heel. They just aren't practical for London. :o( Instead it's boots, boots, and more boots!
